【R1】______
According to a 2010 report from comScore, women spend more time online than men, and they’re overrepresented in social networking, gaming, photos, blogs, and retail. Not only do women spend time online, they spend money, too—female customers make up 61% of online transactions. In a TechCrunch article on the topic, Silicon Valley venture capitalist Aileen Lee called women the " rocket fuel" of e-commerce. "Especially when it comes to social and shopping," Lee explains, "women rule the Internet. "
【R2】______
Hence the surge in " pink-collar" start-ups—businesses in traditionally feminine industries like fashion, beauty, and shopping. But women aren’t the only tech entrepreneurs with their eyes on female customers. From the men behind Pinterest to the dudes who started Shoe Dazzle, smart men are defying gender stereotypes in the pursuit of great business and jumping at the chance to cash in on pink-collar opportunities.
Nils Johnson is one of the three male co-founders of Beautylish, a beauty-focused social network. What attracted three men to the female-dominated cosmetics industry? " Most engineers are guys, so they think about products for guys," Johnson explains. " When we thought about the intersection of technology and beauty, we saw a large opportunity in a market that was significantly underserved. "
Josh Berman and Diego Berdakin are another great example: The duo took their expertise in technology and proximity to the heart of Hollywood and identified a huge opportunity to revolutionize e-commerce. The result was Beachmint, a designer-curated social-commerce site, which catered exclusively to women. " The founders never pretended to be fashion experts," says Ara Katz, Beachmint’s Head of Creative and Partnerships. "Their strengths are in technology and operations. "
【R3】______
When I asked Johnson whether he and his founders had ever encountered criticism, he groaned. "Totally. It’s reverse discrimination. They say, ’ Why don’t you address something that scratches your own itch? ’" But Johnson adds, "I made it clear that I was going to hire the best people. " In many cases, that hiring philosophy means actively seeking to hire women, and some male founders are making strategic choices to recruit women to join their founding teams. Of course, these male entrepreneurs make it clear that their co-founders aren’t just window dressing. In addition to their personal knowledge of the female market, women have brought valuable skills to their ventures.
【R4】______
These pink-collar male entrepreneurs aren’t letting gender hold them back. In fact, they even see some benefits of their outsider perspective. "It can be hard for entrepreneurs to not think their personal experiences are a proxy for the market," explained Topolovac. "Because I come to the table without emotional attachment to the answers, it’s made me a better listener. "
【R5】______
Women are the economic engines of some of the Internet’s hottest markets from e-commerce to social media. It’s no wonder then that savvy entrepreneurs—both men and women—are developing ways to better serve the female market. And as with any growing industry, it takes teams of both genders to truly succeed. Just as we need more women to bring their unique perspective to traditionally male-dominated fields, so too will pink-collar industries benefit from smart, innovative men.
【R1】
选项
答案
D
解析
第一段主要讲的是女性在互联网经济中扮演的重要角色。研究报告显示,比起男性来,女性上网的时间更长,花在聊天、购物、拍照、博客上的时间都比男性长。她们是网购的生力军。用第一段的最后一句话概括这一段的大意就是,“women rule the internet”,女性统治互联网。因此,最能够概括第一段大意的小标题是[D]Women:backbone for e-commerce。backbone一词的意思是“中流砥柱”。
